If it was a coincidence that the four villages were on the same route at the beginning, then it was definitely not a coincidence that all twenty villages were on the same route.
Furthermore, Xiao Lingyu had also gone to the other villages on both sides of the route to ask around. The results were as expected. The villages that were not on the same route had not been attacked by the alliance, nor had they received any invitations from the alliance.
This proved that the alliance had the intention of building a route. As for what their goal was, it was not something that Xiao Lingyu could guess.
Xiao Lingyu had already left for more than a year. It would also take him another year to return. Whether he could make it in time was up to fate.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu even more was that when he arrived at a place less than two hundred thousand miles away from the current Linggu Valley, he sent a message to the old village chief. The result he received was that the alliance had not attacked the Linggu Valley. Instead, they were attacking the villages on both sides of Lanquan Village.
"Could it be that Lanquan Village is the end of this route? Or did I guess wrong?" Xiao Lingyu began to doubt his previous conjecture.
Since this was the case, there was naturally no need for Xiao Lingyu to return to the Linggu Valley. However, the old village chief then sent a message to Xiao Lingyu, saying that Yueru had made a very good discovery in the valley. He even asked Xiao Lingyu if he wanted to return.
Xiao Lingyu replied to ask what the discovery was, but the old village chief told Xiao Lingyu to go back and see for himself.
Xiao Lingyu knew that since he had decided to leave, he was no longer a citizen of the Linggu Valley. It was normal that the cautious old village chief would not tell him some confidential information.
Xiao Lingyu hesitated for a moment, then replied to all the villagers of the Linggu Valley with his blessings. Then, he turned around again.
When Xiao Lingyu arrived at the river beside Silvermoon Village, he was stopped by a man in embroidered clothes and two beautiful women.
Xiao Lingyu furrowed his brows slightly. He had seen these three people before. The two women had once helped the Silver Armor Army fend off the Wolf Demon's attack in front of the original valley of Lin Valley Village. The man in embroidered robes had even exchanged a blow with him.
The three of them should be experts from the alliance. Xiao Lingyu did not know why they were here, so he naturally had to be on guard.
The three of them were Heavenly God village chiefs. If they wanted to harm Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu and the foodie would not be able to stop them. They would have to use their divine weapons.
After looking at the three of them, Xiao Lingyu's did not have the foodie went.
"Brother Xiao, please wait!"
The three of them were obviously here for Xiao Lingyu. Naturally, they wouldn't let Xiao Lingyu go so easily. They moved a distance away and blocked Xiao Lingyu's path again. The man in embroidered clothes also took a step forward and greeted them.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Lingyu stopped and asked with a frown.
Xiao Lingyu was not surprised that the other party knew his name. After all, there were traitors in the original Linggu Valley.
"Nothing important. I just wanted to have a chat with Brother Xiao. I wonder if Brother Xiao would be willing to do me the honor. Of course, I won't take up too much of your time," the man in the embroidered clothes said very politely.
If it was just a chat and not a fight, Xiao Lingyu was naturally willing to accept.
The three of them were not weak. Xiao Lingyu did not want to expose his divine weapons, so it was better to keep a low profile.
"I don't have anything important. Since you are in the mood, I don't mind accompanying you," Xiao Lingyu replied after pondering for a moment.
The man in the embroidered clothes was quite satisfied with Xiao Lingyu's attitude. He immediately waved his hand and set up a table for a banquet.
Although it was called a banquet, there were actually only some wine and some simple fruits on the table.
Xiao Lingyu and the man in the embroidered clothes sat opposite each other. The two women poured three cups of wine for each of them.
Not only did the two women not sit, but they also served the banquet as if they were two maids. Xiao Lingyu could not help but think more highly of the man in the embroidered clothes.
The man in the embroidered clothes must have an extraordinary background to be able to have a Divine God as his assistant.
"According to the rules of Kun City, let's drink three cups of wine first before we talk. Come, let me toast to Brother Xiao."
The man in the embroidered clothes finished his words and drank three cups of wine in one go. Then, he looked at Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu was actually a little wary of drinking with outsiders, especially when it was an outsider's wine. This was because he did not dare to guarantee that there was no problem with the wine.
Most of the time, even if there was nothing wrong with the wine itself, it might contain too much energy, or it might have some special effect that was unpredictable.
However, seeing that the man in the embroidered clothes did not seem to have any abnormalities after drinking the wine, Xiao Lingyu calmly picked up a cup and drank it slowly.
From the man's words, Xiao Lingyu also learned that he came from Kun City. Kun City was the only city near this vast and boundless forest. It was also Xiao Lingyu's current destination.
As he drank, Xiao Lingyu naturally had to quickly test the characteristics of the wine. Although this would make him seem uncomfortable, it was better to be cautious. He could not put himself in danger for the sake of pleasure.
This should be considered a cup of sake. Although it was a little spicy and strong, the alcohol was still within Xiao Lingyu's tolerance.
After drinking three cups in a row, Xiao Lingyu did not seem to have any abnormalities.
Although this wine was ordinary, if an ordinary Great Divinity cultivator drank three cups in a row, they would probably get drunk.
"Brother Xiao, you didn't stay in the Linggu Valley for long, right?" The man in the embroidered clothes asked Xiao Lingyu as the two women poured the wine.
"Haha, I'm sure the deputy village chief of the Linggu Valley must have told you about my situation." Xiao Lingyu nodded and smiled.
"He did tell you a little."
The man in the embroidered clothes did not deny it. Then, he asked, "Brother Xiao, why did you leave the Linggu Valley alone this time?"
Xiao Lingyu said perfunctorily, "I had some matters to attend to."
"I thought Brother Xiao wanted to enter the sea like a dragon to seek a wider space for development." The man in the embroidered clothes seemed to be hinting at something.
Then, the two of them drank another cup. The man in the embroidered clothes asked again, "Brother Xiao, looking at the direction you're heading, you should be heading to Kun City, right?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded.
"From here to Kun City, there are still about eight million miles of journey. There are also many dangers along the way. Xiao Lingyu must have encountered a lot of difficulties along the way." The man in the embroidered clothes seemed to be concerned.
"That depends on luck," Xiao Lingyu said nonchalantly.
"I'm also preparing to return to Kun City. If we travel together, we can take care of each other along the way. It will be safer. What do you think, Brother Xiao?" The man in the embroidered clothes suggested.
"This …"
Xiao Lingyu seemed to be in a difficult position.
Although he would encounter some difficulties alone, he had a Sage weapon and a relatively safe route. He should not encounter any danger. Moreover, he did not know the man in the embroidered clothes well. Naturally, he did not want to travel with them.
However, the man in the embroidered clothes was showing goodwill. It would be inappropriate for him to reject him. His destination was indeed Kun City. The man in the embroidered clothes probably had some status in Kun City. It would not be good for him to not give face to him.
After thinking about it, Xiao Lingyu still found it difficult to make a decision.
"You people from the Linggu Valley are really nostalgic. You actually moved into another valley on such a large scale." The man in the embroidered clothes suddenly spoke.
Xiao Lingyu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. However, he soon understood. The Linggu Valley was moving on such a large scale. Naturally, they would not be able to avoid detection.
However, Xiao Lingyu did not know how to reply to the man in the embroidered clothes. He smiled and clasped his fist. "Haha, I hope that the three of you will take care of me on the journey in the future."
"It's hard to say who will take care of who. Brother Xiao's strength is not inferior to ours," the man in the embroidered clothes said politely.
After drinking a few more cups, Xiao Lingyu ended the banquet because he could not hold his liquor. The four of them then began their journey to Kun City.
Along the way, the two women basically didn't speak, while Xiao Lingyu and the man in embroidered clothes were constantly trying to sound each other out.
Although the man in the embroidered clothes seemed to be generous to Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu only knew that his surname was Qi Hongxuan after traveling with him for more than ten days. The Qi family was one of the three major families in Kun City.
As everyone's destination was Kun City, Qi Hongxuan introduced Kun City more. However, he did not mention much about his own family or the matters of this trip.
Of course, Qi Hongxuan could not obtain much information from Xiao Lingyu. In fact, Xiao Lingyu did not experience much after he ascended. Most of the things that had happened to him had already been conveyed to Qi Hongxuan through the deputy village chief of the Linggu Valley.
During the journey, Qi Hongxuan would stop at every village for a short period of time before continuing with Xiao Lingyu.
This period of time was not long. It was usually around two hours. At most, it was less than four hours.
Xiao Lingyu could already guess that this young master of the Kun City's Qi Family was actually the head of this alliance. He was very curious as to why Qi Hongxuan wasn't enjoying his life in Kun City, but instead came out to create this alliance.
To a Heavenly God expert like the Qi family, which had many Heavenly God experts, what was so special about these villages that they coveted?
Time slowly passed in this boring journey. Many things that should be said had already been said at the beginning of the journey. It was also difficult to say what should not be said. However, Xiao Lingyu could clearly feel that the three of them did not have the slightest bit of malice towards him. It seemed that they were sincere in joining him on the journey.
After nearly ten years, the four of them had only covered one-third of the journey. Xiao Lingyu also discovered that the closer they got to Kun City, the shorter the distance between the villages. Now, the distance between every two villages was at least two thousand miles. The short distance was only a hundred miles.
At this time, the four of them arrived at an endless swamp. Qi Hongxuan also stopped in front of it.
Apart from the fact that the water was black, there was nothing special about the swamp. However, Qi Hongxuan said to Xiao Lingyu in a serious tone, "This place is called the Blackwater Swamp. There are many poisonous creatures in the Heavenly God Stage that roam around here. Moreover, there is often a poisonous mist that permeates the air. It might be dangerous to venture deep into the swamp.
